About our film set catering in Eastbury
For a wrap party, a hog roast is relaxed and generous, with crew eating together at the end of the shoot. Whether it’s farm and estate locations and shoots on location, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, a vegan option and rotisserie chicken for your crew.
Near Eastbury, crews may be miles from anywhere to eat, so hot food at base is a big help. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
Give us one contact in production, normally locations or the production office.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Eastbury is dark by about 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
Ask for a quote
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- Travel to Eastbury
- Which meats and sides you choose
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
